Things are better here in Aotearoa than they are in much of the US right now, but we still have charismatic frauds and queerphobia hate. Destiny Church runs on copypasta "Christian" nationalism, and incites its downtrodden and exploited church members to violence. This will not stand.

I think most actual use of generative AI comes down to this: it allows users to impose the costs of communication on the recipient. People seeing AI art bear the cost of looking past the glitches. Teachers reading AI essays have to evaluate slop. Everyone bears the cost of error-prone mediocracy.

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.
